WordPress Care Plans for Canadian Nonprofits

Your website shouldn’t become a problem you only notice when something breaks. I handle updates, security, and monitoring so issues are prevented before they disrupt your work.

What Can Go Wrong

Nonprofit teams are stretched thin. The website often gets just enough attention to keep running — until something breaks.

  • Outdated plugins
  • Lapsed security scans
  • No offsite backups
  • No uptime monitoring

These aren’t hypothetical risks. They’re how sites get hacked, go down, or lose critical data. And when it happens, it rarely comes at a convenient time. Emergency fixes cost far more than consistent maintenance.

A WordPress care plan is simple.

You don’t need to manage the technical side of WordPress to keep your site stable.

A care plan covers the essentials that prevent problems:

Keeping plugins, themes, and WordPress core updated
Monitoring uptime and catching issues early
Running backups so nothing is lost if something goes wrong
Performing regular checks to make sure everything is working as expected

Instead of reacting to problems, your site stays maintained in the background so you can focus on your organization.

A Real Example

Vancouver Cantata Singers came to me with a website that had become difficult to manage and unreliable over time. Updates were risky, and even small changes required external help.

Before ongoing maintenance could work properly, the site needed to be stabilized. I moved it to a more reliable hosting environment and cleaned up the setup so updates could be handled safely.

From there, the focus shifted to ongoing maintenance and support. Today, their team can make updates with confidence, and the site runs reliably without constant intervention.

This is what a properly maintained site should feel like: stable, manageable, and no longer a source of stress.

If your site needs more than maintenance, we can address that first — then move into ongoing care.

You own everything. Always.

Your organization retains full ownership of your website at all times.

That includes your domain, hosting account, files, and content. Nothing is locked behind proprietary systems or tied to a specific provider.

If you ever decide to move on, you can take everything with you — no restrictions, no complications.

The goal is to support your site, not control it.

Common Questions

Do you work with nonprofits outside BC?
Yes. I work with organizations across Canada. Everything can be handled remotely, so your location isn’t a limitation.
What if I want to cancel?
You can cancel anytime. There are no long-term contracts or lock-ins. If you decide to stop, your site remains fully yours.
My site isn't on WordPress. Can you still help?
Maybe. I specialize in WordPress, but I can review your setup and let you know if it’s something I can support or improve.
What counts as a fix or content update request?
Small updates like text changes, image swaps, or minor layout adjustments are included. Larger changes can still be handled. They’re just scoped separately so expectations stay clear.
What happens if something breaks outside my monthly requests?
I respond to issues as soon as possible and prioritize anything affecting availability or functionality. The goal is to resolve problems quickly before they impact your organization.
What if I need work beyond my monthly requests?
Additional work can be handled at an hourly rate or as a separate project. You’ll always know the scope and cost before anything moves forward.
